Anxiety and muscle tension and tendon/ligament tightness

[Stone9]

Hi guys,

This is my first post here at AnxietyForum. I'm glad to have found this support site.

I've had constant, ever-present anxiety for about 10 months now and I've noticed that my muscles have become really tense. I know that this is caused by anxiety, but can tight tendons and ligaments be caused by anxiety?

My anxiety has led to high cortisol levels, or maybe it's the other way around. My doctor has no answer for me.

Thanks guys,
